Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A good double pram or pushchair will simplify life for families, particularly when walking on busy roads or in shops and stores. Choose a model with ample storage space to store nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some parents who are first-time parents opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used both as a single stroller when baby is born, and transformed into a twin stroller with car seats-mode after he or she arrives. Joolz offers a variety of these options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting the birth of a child is one of the most exciting events in life. But, once the excitement fades and the reality sets in, you may be faced with a variety of decisions about how to prepare your family for the arrival of your baby one or one. One of the most important aspects to consider is choosing the right pram or pushchair.

Tandem prams (also known as "in-line" double prams) are a classic style with two seats or pram bassinets arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is usually cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for infants. The second seat is a bit higher and designed to accommodate toddlers as young as three years. Some models let you decide if your children will look at each other or look outwards. Many tandems can be made into one pushchair when your oldest child is no longer in need of the second seat.

A tandem is more affordable than twin prams and is a great option for parents who want to save money, without losing safety or function. A tandem can be a bit heavy and difficult to steer, especially when bumping over the kerbs.

A tandem can be difficult to transport on public transport and is difficult to maneuver on narrow roads.

However the tandem mode can make it feel long and heavy to push. It comes with frames that can be expanded in dimensions to accommodate the second seat.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance, can be used as a tandem pram starting from birth in dual mode by adding the use of the rumble seat (PS249). If your child gets bored of the rumble seat, you can change to one pram mode. You can also opt to use the adaptors for car capsules to transform it from a newborn to toddler travel system.

Some double strollers that convert into convertibles, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for babies. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when it is not used. The City Select's innovative, one-handed folding impressed our testers, but it takes some time to master. It's also very nimble and agile, despite being larger than double strollers.

Another option that is reasonably priced is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. The seat converts from a car seat with a parent seat to a forward-facing toddler seat, and the bassinet mode is a fantastic option for infants (although remember that babies under 4 months old should not sleep in strollers because of the risk of positional asphyxia).

It weighs only 18 pounds, is small, and has a self standing fold, making it easy to transport or put in your trunk. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and workmanship and the price is low.

Another popular option is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim and sleek. It is also easy to steer, with an appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. Although they are smaller, side-by-side prams can still be wider than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. However, they're usually shorter, which means they are easier to maneuver in tight spaces than tandems.
